The winning numbers are: 05-28-62-65-70, Mega Ball: 5, Megaplier: 3.
We have reached out to SC Education Lottery officials for confirmation of the jackpot winner.
Mega Millions tickets are sold in 44 states across the U.S.
This is a developing story.
Stay with FOX Carolina for the latest.
I recall that....so the first order of business would be to hire a great attorney.
NH allows trusts to claim prizes. Most states do not. She signed the ticket personally, then sued to have her trust collect it instead of her personally. That’s an unusual situation.
The places that sell these tickets have video, and the location, date and time are printed on the ticket, and their is a receipt in the register. That and vid are used to determine a lawful chain of ownership. Winners are known, but at least their names aren’t in the official news stories.
$600 million is Jimmy Buffet territory.

MMMmmm. I wondered what she had done differently. Thanks for the information!
I wonder if South Carolina has an Income Tax. I know North Carolina has a Property Tax. Or I seem to recall that from filling out tax forms from decades ago while I was active duty Air Force.
